The amount of energy required to heat water for a 10-minute shower (50 gallons) is 2.2125 kJ. How many calories is this

1 answer:

6 0

First, we convert the given amount of energy into joules.
1 kJ = 1000 joules
2.2125 kJ = 2,212.5 Joules

Each kilocalorie contains 4,184 Joules
Kilocalories = 2,212.5 / 4,182
Kilocalories = 0.529
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

0.529 kilocalories = 529 calories

Which statements about reducing sugars are true? D‑Glucose (an aldose) is a reducing sugar. The oxidation of a reducing sugar fo

qaws [65]

Answer:

The true statements are given below.

Explanation:

1 D glucose is a reducing sugar

2 The oxidation of reducing sugar forms a carboxylic acid sugar.

D glucose is a reducing sugar because glucose contain a free hydroxyl group (-OH)in its anomeric carbon.

The oxidation of reducing sugar result in the conversion of -CHO group in case of aldose sugar and -CH2OH group in case of ketose sugar into carboxylic acid(-COOH).
